And since I know, that the word schiavi exists and means slaves, I wrote schiavi. After carefully listenning to her like 5 times...
I had the same experience yesterday. She clearly says "schiavi". This is not the first time I've been thrown by a mispronounced word!
Yes. La chiave is one of those irritating nouns that disguises its femininity in the plural by becoming chiavi. So it is le chiavi :)
is there any difference between 'ricevere' and 'prendere'? It sounds like you do not capture, indeed someone else has handed over the object by his consent in 'ricevere' ; however you act to take the object by your action in 'prendere' ?
I was wondering if anyone else thought about that connection there. Though I still haven't "seen" proof for (or for the valitdity of) a "succession" in that case.
Is "riceve" just in the sense of "receive". For example someone gives you the keys to the house you just bought. Or can you also use it in a sense of "get" as in "he got back into the living room to get the keys" ? thanks

Couldn't you say "He receives keys"? It marked it wrong, but I didn't think it mattered...
Hmm. I would use this sentence with caution. To maked it within context, I'd add 'house' or 'car' keys. Otherwise, it could mean something more explicit.
Why isn't "He receives his keys" accepted? I know there isn't "sue" in the Italian, but there have been many cases where the possessive pronoun is dropped.
Yup, this is a bit naughty - the question before last allowed and suggested "get" for this sentence as well as "receive". Exactly how irritating do you want this to be?!?
